From an experienced art teacher, this is a book to liberate young artists from perfectionism, teaching them that true art is about joyful expression and a unique perspective.

Little Lou believes she's a "bad artist" because her drawings don't look as realistic as her big sister's. But with a little perspective, she discovers that creativity isn't about getting it right—it's about the joy of making your mark. 

Written by an art teacher with over 15 years of experience, this inspiring story helps children embrace their uniqueness, build confidence and fall in love with the process of creating.
